Computer Architecture Central Processing Unit (CPU) or processor Arithmetic/Logic unit versus Control unit Registers General purpose Special purpose Bus Motherboard

Stored Program Concept A program can be encoded as bit patterns and stored in main memory. From there, the CPU can then extract the instructions and execute them. In turn, the program to be executed can be altered easily.

Terminology Machine instruction: An instruction (or command) encoded as a bit pattern recognizable by the CPU Machine language: The set of all instructions recognized by a machine

Machine Language Philosophies Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) Few, simple, efficient, and fast instructions Examples: PowerPC from Apple/IBM/Motorola and ARM Complex Instruction Set Computing (CISC) Many, convenient, and powerful instructions Example: Intel

Machine Instruction Types Data Transfer: copy data from one location to another Arithmetic/Logic: use existing bit patterns to compute a new bit patterns Control: direct the execution of the program

Figure 2.3 Dividing values stored in memory

Figure 2.4 The architecture of the machine described in Appendix C

Parts of a Machine Instruction Op-code: Specifies which operation to execute Operand: Gives more detailed information about the operation Interpretation of operand varies depending on op-code

Program Execution Controlled by two special-purpose registers Program counter: address of next instruction Instruction register: current instruction Machine Cycle Fetch Decode Execute

Arithmetic/Logic Operations Logic: AND, OR, XOR Masking Rotate and Shift: circular shift, logical shift, arithmetic shift Arithmetic: add, subtract, multiply, divide Precise action depends on how the values are encoded (two’s complement versus floating-point).

Communicating with Other Devices Controller: An intermediary apparatus that handles communication between the computer and a device Specialized controllers for each type of device General purpose controllers (USB and FireWire) Port: The point at which a device connects to a computer Memory-mapped I/O: CPU communicates with peripheral devices as though they were memory cells

Figure 2.13 Controllers attached to a machine’s bus

Figure 2.14 A conceptual representation of memory-mapped I/O

Communicating with Other Devices (continued) Direct memory access (DMA): Main memory access by a controller over the bus Von Neumann Bottleneck: Insufficient bus speed impedes performance Handshaking: The process of coordinating the transfer of data between components

Communicating with Other Devices (continued) Parallel Communication: Several communication paths transfer bits simultaneously. Serial Communication: Bits are transferred one after the other over a single communication path.

Data Communication Rates Measurement units Bps: Bits per second Kbps: Kilo-bps (1,000 bps) Mbps: Mega-bps (1,000,000 bps) Gbps: Giga-bps (1,000,000,000 bps) Bandwidth: Maximum available rate

Programming Data Manipulation Programing languages shields users from details of the machine: A single Python statement might map to one, tens, or hundreds of machine instructions Programmer does not need to know if the processor is RISC or CISC Assigning variables surely involves LOAD, STORE, and MOVE op-codes

Bitwise Problems as Python Code print(bin(0b10011010 & 0b11001001)) # Prints '0b10001000' print(bin(0b10011010 | 0b11001001)) # Prints '0b11011011' print(bin(0b10011010 ^ 0b11001001)) # Prints '0b1010011'

Control Structures If statement: While statement: if (water_temp > 140): print('Bath water too hot!') While statement: while (n < 10): print(n) n = n + 1

Functions Function: A name for a series of operations that should be performed on the given parameter or parameters Function call: Appearance of a function in an expression or statement x = 1034 y = 1056 z = 2078 biggest = max(x, y, z) print(biggest) # Prints '2078'

Functions (continued) Argument Value: A value plugged into a parameter Fruitful functions return a value void functions, or procedures, do not return a value sideA = 3.0 sideB = 4.0 # Calculate third side via Pythagorean Theorem hypotenuse = math.sqrt(sideA**2 + sideB**2) print(hypotenuse)

Input / Output # Calculates the hypotenuse of a right triangle import math # Inputting the side lengths, first try sideA = int(input('Length of side A? ')) sideB = int(input('Length of side B? ')) # Calculate third side via Pythagorean Theorem hypotenuse = math.sqrt(sideA**2 + sideB**2) print(hypotenuse)

Marathon Training Assistant # Marathon training assistant. import math # This function converts a number of minutes and # seconds into just seconds. def total_seconds(min, sec): return min * 60 + sec # This function calculates a speed in miles per hour given # a time (in seconds) to run a single mile. def speed(time): return 3600 / time

Marathon Training Assistant (continued) # Prompt user for pace and mileage. pace_minutes = int(input('Minutes per mile? ')) pace_seconds = int(input('Seconds per mile? ')) miles = int(input('Total miles? ')) # Calculate and print speed. mph = speed(total_seconds(pace_minutes, pace_seconds)) print('Your speed is ' + str(mph) + ' mph') # Calculate elapsed time for planned workout. total = miles * total_seconds(pace_minutes, pace_seconds) elapsed_minutes = total // 60 elapsed_seconds = total % 60 print('Your elapsed time is ' + str(elapsed_minutes) + ' mins ' + str(elapsed_seconds) + ' secs')
